Dance Walkers

Guess who’s back, back again. Dancin’s back, tell a friend. 😉

Birmingham Dance Walks are back! Our first dance walk of 2019 will be 2pm CDT on Sunday, March 24th at Railroad Park. We’ll meet on the grass across from the Boxcar Cafe (which is located under the 17th Street Plaza covered area). Look for the balloons!

What is Dance Walking? It’s a fun fitness craze sweeping the globe. We are dancing and walking our way through Birmingham on a quest for fun, people, music, and FITNESS! Everyone is welcome and all ages are encouraged to join!

We’ll provide music via megaphones throughout the dance walk, but feel free to bring your own or listen with some earbuds. We’ll dance walk around the park until we’ve had our fill. Don’t tell anyone, but we heard that Free Hugs Birmingham might even pop up at some point!

You can find more details and RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2120427331380720/.

Want to see how it got started? Here you go!

You asked for it!

categories: bham dance walk

pic1It’s that time again…dance walk time! I haven’t done a dance walk since April of 2014 (shame on me!), so it’s long past due. The last one was a bit rained out, but we shall motor on! The People have been asking for it and the People shall have it! 🙂

What is dance walking? Fun, free fitness! It’s basically a moving, dancing flash mob. It’s insanely fun and chaotic and spastic and everything that an afternoon of music should be in Birmingham. I first saw the idea here and have been doing them (somewhat sporadically) in Birmingham ever since.

Our next dance was has me exceptionally excited because of our partners. We have fitness fabs Zyp Bikeshare and SOL Dance Experience on board as our presenting sponsors. We can’t thank them enough and will be telling you more about both in the coming weeks.

To get all the details for the Dance Walk coming up on in the Parkside District at 4p.m. on March 20th, check out the Facebook event here (and be sure to RSVP too!). We’ll have giveaways, music, and dancing – all for FREE! What more could you ask for?

See you on March 20th with my dancing shoes on!

Best Day Ever

categories: bham dance walk, birthday

Best day ever. That’s all I can say. More words and tons of pictures to come, but the Dance Walk was a huge success and I also picked up my birthday bike made possible from all of my friends. We even picked up a HUGE new friend during Dance Walk. More to come, but sleep is calling. I am grateful to have the most amazing people in my life. I am in awe of you.

Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.

Walk It Out

categories: bham dance walk

Today was a fantastic day – the sun was shining, successfully resolved an issue at work, played with a RC helicopter, and had a wonderful dinner with my favorite guy. I was/am feeling a little under the weather this evening, but hope to be back to 100% tomorrow for two reasons: 1) I’m picking up Electra in the morning and b) It’s the next Birmingham Dance Walk! I cannot wait for this one as we have a surprise guest coming. If you’ve seen the tweets and Facebook posts, you might already know. If not, a clue is below. See you tomorrow at 1 p.m. on 2nd Avenue North by Urban Standard.

Tornado Alley

categories: See Jane Write

Things have been moving at the speed of light these days at work, in my personal life, and extracurricular activities. I am not complaining – staying busy keeps my mind engaged, especially when I’m working with the creative talents behind the Jefferson Shelby County Chapter of the American Red Cross‘ Paint the Town Red event scheduled for April 20th right here in downtown Birmingham. I went to my first meeting last night – I’m volunteering as part of the Social Media team – and let me just tell you, they are planning AMAZING art for Birmingham. I cannot wait to go to this!

I have been busy with meetings and meet ups with See Jane Write, Theatre Downtown, Paint the Town Red, Magic City Post, the next Birmingham Dance Walk, and working my my goals and fitness thanks to Iron Tribe, losing weight, and seeing my man! Whew – I’m tired just thinking about the past few weeks and the weeks coming up. But they are worth it – these are some great organizations that do so much for our community.

The past two days of challenges for 31 Days to a Better Blog have been to 1) be more engaging on Facebook and Twitter and b) sign up for a blogging conference or seminar. Well, I’ve already blown #1 out of the park apparently as my sister, who I adore, posted on Facebook that I was updating too much and she was a little tired of it. lol! There are worse things, but it does tell me that I’m engaged. I loved Javacia’s tip today on posting more quality and not just quantity on social media – you can read her post here. And I’m also attending the See Jane Write event tonight: Blogging and the Future of Community Journalism. So I’ve got those two covered. I am still working on a new header, as well as whether I want to change my URL, title or platform. We shall see, but they are great tips in the series.

More tomorrow, lovelies! Until then….

Love yourself.
